Tractor Plant Neighbourhood: Audioguide

Minsk Tractor plant Neighbourhood is a compact city in the city that was largely influenced by the utopian ideas of the late 40s and early 50s. This area resembles a serene urban oasis transferred to our time from the past. In this new edition of podcasts about Minsk - the part of the joint project by 34travel and MTS - we invite you to take a walk through the streets of the factory district and find out what we love about this charismatic corner of the capital.

In a crowded metropolis, silence and tranquility are considered luxury. Therefore, it’s safe to call the cozy Tractor Plant Neighbourhood the most luxurious area of Minsk. This authentic sample of post-war architecture, filled with hopes and faith in a better future, which has survived to this day with little or no change, remains equally important and interesting both for us, Belarusians and for foreign tourists.

Download the podcast in English or (if you please) listen to it in Russian or Belarusian, put your headphones on and foster the imagination – Tractor Plant Neighbourhood opens its soul only to an attentive listener.
